Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenBSM provides an open source implementation of Sun's BSM Audit API.
|
|
|
|
|
Originally created under contract to Apple Computer by McAfee Research,
|
|
|
|
|
this implementation is now maintained by volunteers and the generous
|
|
|
|
|
contribution of several organizations. Coupled with a kernel audit
|
|
|
|
|
implementation, OpenBSM can be used to maintain system audit streams, and
|
|
|
|
|
is a foundation for an Audit-enabled system.
|
|
|
|

Contents

OpenBSM consists of several directories:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
bin/ Audit-related command line tools
|
|
|
|
|
bsm/ System include files for BSM
|
|
|
|
|
etc/ Sample /etc/security configuration files
|
|
|
|
|
libbsm/ Implementation of BSM library interfaces and man pages
|
|
|
|
|
man/ System call and configuration file man pages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenBSM currently builds on FreeBSD and Darwin. With Makefile adjustment
|
|
|
|
|
and minor tweaks, it should build without problems on a broad range of
|
|
|
|
|
POSIX-like systems.

Vendor branch import of TrustedBSD OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 5:
- Update install notes to indicate /etc files are to be installed manually.
- On systems without LOG_SECURITY, use LOG_AUTH.
- Convert to autoconf/automake in order to move to a more portable (not
BSD-specific) build infrastructure, and more easy conditional building of
components. Currently, the primary feature loss is that automake does
not have native support for manual symlinks. This will be addressed in a
future OpenBSM release.
- Add compat/queue.h, to be used on systems dated BSD queue macro libraries
(as found on Linux).
- Rename CHANGELOG to HISTORY, as our change log doesn't follow some of the
existing conventions for a CHANGELOG.
- Some private data structures moved from audit.h to audit_internal.h to
prevent inappropriate use by applications and name space pollution.
- Improved detection and use of endian macros using autoconf.
- Avoid non-portable use of struct in6_addr, which is largely opaque.
- Avoid leaking BSD kernel socket related token code to user space in
bsm_token.c.
- Teach System V IPC calls to look for Linux naming variations for certain
struct ipc_perm fields.
- Test for audit system calls, and if not present, don't build
bsm_wrappers.c, bsm_notify.c, audit(8), and auditd(8), which rely on
those system calls.
- au_close() is not implemented on systems that don't have audit system
calls, but au_close_buffer() is.
- Work around missing BSDisms in bsm_wrapper.c.
- Fix nested includes so including libbsm.h in an application on Linux
picks up the necessary definitions.

OpenBSM is currently built using autoconf and automake, which should allow
|
|
|
|
|
for building on a range of operating systems, including FreeBSD, Mac OS X,
|
Vendor branch import of TrustedBSD OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 6:
- Use AU_TO_WRITE and AU_NO_TO_WRITE for the 'keep' argument to au_close();
previously we used hard-coded 0 and 1 values.
- Add man page for au_open(), au_write(), au_close(), and
au_close_buffer().
- Support a more complete range of data types for the arbitrary data token:
add AUR_CHAR (alias to AUR_BYTE), remove AUR_LONG, add AUR_INT32 (alias
to AUR_INT), add AUR_INT64.
- Add au_close_token(), which allows writing a single token_t to a memory
buffer. Not likely to be used much by applications, but useful for
writing test tools.
- Modify au_to_file() so that it accepts a timeval in user space, not just
kernel -- this is not a Solaris BSM API so can be modified without
causing compatibility issues.
- Define a new API, au_to_header32_tm(), which adds a struct timeval
argument to the ordinary au_to_header32(), which is now implemented by
wrapping au_to_header32_tm() and calling gettimeofday(). #ifndef KERNEL
the APIs that invoke gettimeofday(), rather than having a variable
definition. Don't try to retrieve time zone information using
gettimeofday(), as it's not needed, and introduces possible failure
modes.
- Don't perform byte order transformations on the addr/machine fields of
the terminal ID that appears in the process32/subject32 tokens. These
are assumed to be IP addresses, and as such, to be in network byte
order.
- Universally, APIs now assume that IP addresses and ports are provided
in network byte order. APIs now generally provide these types in
network byte order when decoding.
- Beginnings of an OpenBSM test framework can now be found in openbsm/test.
This code is not built or installed by default.
- auditd now assigns more appropriate syslog levels to its debugging and
error information.
- Support for audit filters introduced: audit filters are dynamically
loaded shared objects that run in the context of a new daemon,
auditfilterd. The daemon reads from an audit pipe and feeds both BSM and
parsed versions of records to shared objects using a module API. This
will provide a framework for the writing of intrusion detection services.
- New utility API, audit_submit(), added to capture common elements of audit
record submission for many applications.

You may wish to specify that the OpenBSM components not be installed in the
|
|
|
|
|
base system, rather in a specific directory. This may be done using the
|
|
|
|
|
--prefix argument to configure. If installing to a specific directory,
|
|
|
|
|
remember to update your library path so that running tools from that
|
|
|
|
|
directory the correct libbsm is used:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

./configure --prefix=/home/rwatson/openbsm
|
|
|
|
|
make

|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/rwatson/openbsm/libbsm ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need to manually propagate openbsm/etc/* into /etc on your system;
|
|
|
|
|
this is not done automatically so as to avoid disrupting the current
|
|
|
|
|
configuration. Currently, the locations of these files is not
|
|
|
|
|
configurable.

au_close_buffer().
- Support a more complete range of data types for the arbitrary data token:
add AUR_CHAR (alias to AUR_BYTE), remove AUR_LONG, add AUR_INT32 (alias
to AUR_INT), add AUR_INT64.
- Add au_close_token(), which allows writing a single token_t to a memory
buffer. Not likely to be used much by applications, but useful for
writing test tools.
- Modify au_to_file() so that it accepts a timeval in user space, not just
kernel -- this is not a Solaris BSM API so can be modified without
causing compatibility issues.
- Define a new API, au_to_header32_tm(), which adds a struct timeval
argument to the ordinary au_to_header32(), which is now implemented by
wrapping au_to_header32_tm() and calling gettimeofday(). #ifndef KERNEL
the APIs that invoke gettimeofday(), rather than having a variable
definition. Don't try to retrieve time zone information using
gettimeofday(), as it's not needed, and introduces possible failure
modes.
- Don't perform byte order transformations on the addr/machine fields of
the terminal ID that appears in the process32/subject32 tokens. These
are assumed to be IP addresses, and as such, to be in network byte
order.
- Universally, APIs now assume that IP addresses and ports are provided
in network byte order. APIs now generally provide these types in
network byte order when decoding.
- Beginnings of an OpenBSM test framework can now be found in openbsm/test.
This code is not built or installed by default.
- auditd now assigns more appropriate syslog levels to its debugging and
error information.
- Support for audit filters introduced: audit filters are dynamically
loaded shared objects that run in the context of a new daemon,
auditfilterd. The daemon reads from an audit pipe and feeds both BSM and
parsed versions of records to shared objects using a module API. This
will provide a framework for the writing of intrusion detection services.
- New utility API, audit_submit(), added to capture common elements of audit
record submission for many applications.
